You are lovely 🥰 I’m so glad I found this as I’ve wanted to build some panels like this for my rendered fence and what a bonus I’m watching from Australia but my mum was born in Scotland 🏴 ❤
Sisters are doing it for ourselves! Looks great. Thanks Margot for sharing, I’m about to consider a horizontal screen using cedar and as it so expensive I can’t afford to mess up, so your tips have been very helpful. I’m trying to make it as a surprise for my other half, but as the slats are heavy I’ll probably have to get another “sister” in to help. I think my hubby will be over the moon he’s not had to help.😂
Hi Margot, I want to make a trellis like yours around my unsightly oil tank. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to make this video. Also enjoyed the humour.
Superb Presentation, have you heard of "sho sugi ban" by doing the process to each piece of timber would make this fence last a very very long time....Thankyou for the How to...Much Love and Peace...🤜🏼❤🤛🏿
That was a very good video, watched it from start to finish! I particularly loved the editing, very clever stuff especially the 'Wonder woman' spin at the end! Well done!! Have subscribed 👏🏻 👏🏻 😀
Brilliant, well done Mrs Henderson 😊 Can you please let me know the length & depth in mm of the batons you used please. As there are different thicknesses? Thank you!
Hi again Rachel, I just remembered that Glynn put the sizes in the video at the start when I am explaining the tile baton. It pops up so quick you probably missed it. The size is 19mm x 38mm and it came in lengths of 4800mm that I halved to make two screens. I could only fine one sawmill locally that did that size so you may have to shop around or use a different size. I hope this helps. Cheers, Margot
High Mick, I’m not sure what you mean, remember I’m a total amateur. If you mean you don’t have a fence yet, only the posts, I think it should be possible to put a screen fixed between each pair of posts but without a fence behind the screen it would be too flimsy I think. Cheers, Margot
Hi Shelly, the wood cost me £72 from a local sawmill. The black plastic membrane was from a leftover role of weed inhibitor I already had lying in the shed. Sorry, I can’t remember how much the paint cost and the nail gun and nails are my husbands. I know he got them from Screwfix but no idea what he paid for them but hammering in ordinary nails would be cheaper but take a bit longer. Hope this helps.
Thank you for the comments. The membrane I used is plastic weed barrier but sorry, I have no idea if it is sun resistant but it has not faded in a year. I used that because it was lying in my shed from previous garden work . Otherwise I would perhaps have used something else that is black/dark and durable. Wish you well with your project.
I bought the wood from a sawmill called Gilmour and Aitkin in Jamestown in Scotland. The black plastic was a role of weed inhibitor I already had lying in the shed. I had bought it from B & Q about ten years ago. The paint I ordered off amazon. Hope this helps.
Hi Wendy, Margot here (I'm using my husbands channel). He worked it out when doing his first one by adding the width of the baton plus the thickness of the baton (which was the gap). He kept adding that sum until it came to two metres which was the height of the fence and that worked out to 32 for the size of baton we used. It didn't come to 2m exactly but when coming to putting on the last six batons at the bottom, I just spaced them by eye and you can't tell they are fractionally different spaces. I hope that helps.
@@safemovies ahh. I see. Thank-you. I have bought the wood and For me I was wondering how to achieve privacy but also make it look good. I am doing mine on my neighbours side who have small children. Often in the morning I have a garden full of footballs!! Thanks again.
Sorry, Margot can't remember the price she paid for the battons exactly but thinks it was around £75 - £80 but the cost of timber has gone up dramatically since last summer. She purchased from a local timber yard called Gilmore & Aitken in Jamestown near Balloch.
The batons, if I remember rightly, were 4.8m long and were cut in half to make two easy to handle screens. The 32 horizontal batons created the double, side by side, screen which is 1.8 high by 4.8 long. hope this helps. The ones I used from a local company were 22mm x 49mm but most timber merchants sell 25mm x 50mm which will still work. Hope this helps.
You are lovely 🥰 I’m so glad I found this as I’ve wanted to build some panels like this for my rendered fence and what a bonus I’m watching from Australia but my mum was born in Scotland 🏴 ❤
This is simple instructions.im on a mission try build screen this helped alot.😊
What a great video.. I'm just about start mine providing the rain stays off.. who runs the world 🌎? Girls !! Xx
Brilliant video, I was actually forgetting what I was here to watch again 😂 🏴
Looks great! Fantastic job 👏

Thanks Margot for a great video! This has inspired me to do mine too. Love the idea of the black membrane behind too!

Margot, you're an awesome lady. This tutorial was entertaining and really informative! I'll be referring to it for my own upcoming project. Thank you!
Thank You, I have passed your comment on to Margot
Very good Glynn love it ❤
Thank you x
This is a great idea and unique privacy screen! Thank you so much for sharing.
Pretty impressive, think I’ll give that a try
Very nice! I need to do this. Your accent's adorable!
Go Margot, fantastic job down effortlessly 🥰
God I love dry humor. ❤
Thank you so much for sharing! You have given me confidence to have a go 😁
I can’t guarantee that the wine will appear when you click your fingers 😁
@@safemovies that would be amazing though!
Superb Presentation, have you heard of "sho sugi ban" by doing the process to each piece of timber would make this fence last a very very long time....Thankyou for the How to...Much Love and Peace...🤜🏼❤🤛🏿
Hi, Margot thanks you for your kind comments. We have not heard of sho sugi ban but will look into it, thanks for bring it to our attention.
Use the three four five rule to check for squareness
You’re an amazing lady Mrs Henderson.

Thank you so much Greg 👍
Thanks for video ❤😂

Brilliant, well done Mrs Henderson 😊 Can you please let me know the length & depth in mm of the batons you used please. As there are different thicknesses? Thank you!
Hi Rachel, I’m on holiday just now. Will measure and get back to you next week. Cheers, Margot

Brilliant video Margot IAM on the other side of the fence with 6 posts could I do this to . Thanks ☺️
High Mick, I’m not sure what you mean, remember I’m a total amateur. If you mean you don’t have a fence yet, only the posts, I think it should be possible to put a screen fixed between each pair of posts but without a fence behind the screen it would be too flimsy I think. Cheers, Margot
Absolutely brilliant, can I ask the total cost please?
Hi Shelly, the wood cost me £72 from a local sawmill. The black plastic membrane was from a leftover role of weed inhibitor I already had lying in the shed. Sorry, I can’t remember how much the paint cost and the nail gun and nails are my husbands. I know he got them from Screwfix but no idea what he paid for them but hammering in ordinary nails would be cheaper but take a bit longer. Hope this helps.
It's very lovely. Thank you for the inspiration. Could you please tell me what the membrane is made of? Is the membrane sun resistant? ♥️🌻♥️
Thank you for the comments. The membrane I used is plastic weed barrier but sorry, I have no idea if it is sun resistant but it has not faded in a year. I used that because it was lying in my shed from previous garden work . Otherwise I would perhaps have used something else that is black/dark and durable. Wish you well with your project.
Your an inspiration could you please list where you got all the materials from please thank you in advance 🙏
I bought the wood from a sawmill called Gilmour and Aitkin in Jamestown in Scotland. The black plastic was a role of weed inhibitor I already had lying in the shed. I had bought it from B & Q about ten years ago. The paint I ordered off amazon. Hope this helps.
@@safemovies Thank you much for your reply I really appreciate it, wishing you and your loved ones the very best 👍
Great tutorial!
P.S - there's no 'P' in OSMO :P
Roughly what was the cost of the material back then ?
The total cost back then was £74. It will cost more now but still a fraction of what they cost if you buy them out of a store.
@@safemovies thank you , that’s very reasonable x
🧡🧡🧡
Hi. Thanks for the video. Please can you tell me how you decided on the size of the gaps between the slats.
Hi Wendy, Margot here (I'm using my husbands channel). He worked it out when doing his first one by adding the width of the baton plus the thickness of the baton (which was the gap). He kept adding that sum until it came to two metres which was the height of the fence and that worked out to 32 for the size of baton we used.

Please could you link the tile battens, price and where you purchased from Please.

Dimensions please?
